Well, fixed the choke. (Just disconnected it). The accelerator pump seems to be working. That rod does move inward when you move the throttle and it does squirt. Fuel pump has 3 lines on it, one is just dangling and I have no idea what it does (I assume it's an ancient form of return line) so not sure if that's an issue. Then I found there's a crankcase breather on the block down by the distributor, its hooked to a vacuum line on the manifold so it's just one gaping vacuum leak. I imagine it should be hooked to the air cleaner lid (before the throttle plate) but there is no air cleaner so I plugged the hole in the block and took the oil filler cap off to let it breathe old school style. I hooked the egr vacuum line up but no idea if that does anything. Waiting for a new battery to try firing it up again...
The vacuum advance on the distributer was also running to the carb and not the manifold. I didnt know if the port on the carb was actually a vacuum port, or an port on the carb that NEEDS vacuum (i.e vacuum secondaires) so I plugged that for now and ran the advance right to the manifold.
This thing is a nightmare.
